Why It Works Hart’s choice of a thick knit cardigan gives the garment a nicely structured shape that fits his body like a glove, easily taking the place of a more traditional, formal blazer.The dark color lends itself to a variety of looks–he could just as easily have paired it with black trousers or even something a bit more fashion-forward, such as plaid or pinstriped pants, and still aced the overall getup....
Chef Donald Counts is no different. “My biggest secret is to soak the breadcrumbs in milk before molding the meatballs,” says Counts, who is National Executive Chef of the restaurant and music venue City Winery. “It keeps everything texturally sound and easy to work with.” (The staler the breadcrumbs, the better, he adds, as they lock in more moisture.) And when it comes to choosing pork and beef, choose something with a little bit more fat to ensure the meatballs are as juicy as possible....
The actors play Henry and Lucy, their characters from the film, which is about a man who falls in love with a woman with memory loss issues that have clearly not gone away.

The bill did not originally contain a “Don’t Say Gay or Trans” aspect, but it was added as a surprise, last-minute addendum the morning the bill was approved, April 7th, 2022....
For many families, their bedtime routine includes reading a book, which is another best practice in parenting, and combining the two is a perfect way to bond and wind down.

UK-based baby brand, My 1st Years, wanted to find out which bedtime stories were the most popular....
Gun violence has become the leading cause of death for kids in the United States, surpassing car accidents for the first time ever. Unfortunately and maddeningly, due to Senate rules (namely the filibuster) and President Biden’s limited ability to enact gun reform via executive action, there’s not much the current government appears able or willing to do to stop gun violence. But one new bill could creatively circumvent arcane Senate filibuster rules and make it harder to allow AR-15s — a gun model that has been used in 11 mass shootings since 2012 — to get into the hands of those who would use them to commit mass murder....

I didn’t accompany my wife to the appointment with the developmental pediatrician. I’d taken a couple sick days not too long before, and I didn’t think it would be prudent to take another. I remember telling her I wasn’t worried. “He’s just a little behind,” I had said. “I was behind. I had to go to therapy and all that. Look, he’s only 2. We’ve got plenty of time for him to catch up....

The goal of the study from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig and published in Human Biology was to figure out what makes music pleasurable to listen to. They took 745 songs that had reached the Billboard charts between 1958 and 1991 and used machine learning to quantify the expectancy of 80,000 chords. The songs were then stripped of other aspects of original material like lyrics and melody, presenting to listeners as “auditory stimuli [that] consisted of computer-generated isochronous chord progressions....
Deinocheirus These ostrich-like dinosaurs roamed the earth over 70 million years ago but were only discovered by scientists in the last decade. And since their discovery, they have become a favorite among the dino-loving community. Why? Because the Deinocheirus was an absolutely massive dinosaur. They were 33-feet long – including eight-foot long arms – and weighed an estimated 1,200 pounds. They may not look as frightening as a Velociraptor but who wouldn’t love to see a pack of Deinocheirus’ wreaking some havoc in the Twenty-First Century?...
